We're concerned about the situation at the European borders. Our production team work with the themes of flight and asylumn, developing productions about and with refugees. We network with musicians, video-artists, with actors and refugees who live in our region and in other European and African countries. We want to make the invisibles visible. Our group is a little community with members coming from Sudan, Ethopia, Eritrea, Kongo, Afganistan, Armenia, Switzerland and Germany. We're connected with a theatre group in Pietermaritzburg / SouthAfrica. We develop plays and performances with people of different cultures and religions. We try to learn about how to accept each other and risk a look beneath the surface. We're ambitious theatre writers and producers who work at the border of arts and politics.
